Template for basic post
This is a template for a basic post. To use this template for a new post, click ‘copy to a new draft’ in the right hand side of the editing window, then go to All Posts in the left hand side of the editing window, click on your draft, and start editing using the instructions below.
Above, the title of the page should appear in Heading 2 style. You can change the style by clicking the drop-down box where it says ‘paragraph’ above. In this section, you should include a few lines of introductory material.
In the right hand column of the editing box, you’ll see an element called ‘single image’. Change this to something relevant to this post. You might find an image that works in the media library, or you might need to add a new one.
Below the image is an element called ‘button’. Use this to direct visitors to a call to action, for example ‘download’, ‘book now’. You will need to click the element to edit the button text and the URL to which it points.
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Augue lacus viverra vitae congue eu consequat. Aliquam ut porttitor leo a diam sollicitudin. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit ut. Id neque aliquam vestibulum morbi blandit.
In this part of the page you can add more information if you need to. If you want to bring in information from other parts of the website, you can:
- Think about the information required. Does it all fall into one category? If so, we can build an element that will automatically call in relevant posts for you. A Masonry Grid has been added to this post for you. All you need to do is change the category of posts it calls in. At the moment, it’s set to call in posts categorised ‘covid-19’. If you don’t need this element, just delete the whole row.
- Add buttons that take you to the relevant post. An example has been added to this post for you. You will need to amend the image to something relevant, update the text, and make sure both the button and the text point to the correct URL. If you don’t need the button in this post, just delete the whole row.
- Use hyperlinks in the body of text. To add hyperlinks, select the relevant word and click the paperclip icon in the toolbar above. You can then select the relevant page within this website to point to. If the link is pointing to an external site, make sure you check the box to open the link in a new tab.
Some other things you need to do to complete your new post:
- Select the categories in which the post should appear by ticking the relevant boxes in the right hand side of the main editing window
- Set the ‘featured image’ to be a relevant image (you can always use the same one as you used at the top of the page)
- Click the blue ‘Publish’ button.
